upon seeing the music video "If I could be just a train fare richer I'd change my needs". She left him already, and she is on her way (like on a train). And she is in a point of no return, even if she wants to.

Bon Iver – Skinny Love Lyrics 12 years ago
I AM PRETTY SURE ABOUT THIS INTERPRETATION.

I think this song title is a personification of love; Unhealthy love, one that is dying, as opposed to an ideal "fat love". I think he is afraid that his love will break up with him soon.

Come on skinny love just last the year
- * He knows the love is not ideal and diminishing but he's not ready to be alone yet. The girl might break up with him.

Pour a little salt we were never here
- * You use salt to preserve things that spoil or keep ice from melting. Maybe if he poured a little salt, they could forget about this awful point in their relationship where things seem hopeless. He knows things are not how they wanted it to be but ironically he still want to hold on.


My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
- * But then he looks back at their damaged relationship, depicted in a literal or figurative fight they had where one of them washes up his injured mouth (his teeth with veneers), maybe from a fist fight.


I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
- * He needs a big enough reason to finally want out of the relationship. Wreck it all, something worse has to happen, nothing good should be left of their relationship before he can finally have the courage to be away from her. She has to force him to fall out of love.

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
- * Okay, this moment reminds me of ordering coffee at Starbucks. This order is tall, meaning it's the smallest type of coffee? Haha. But seriously, he told his love to wreck it all, but then he is asking too much, she can't act like a total bitch just for him to fall out of love.

And I told you to be patient
And told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
- *These were the expectations he had with the relationship, which were not met. He wished she wouldn't break up with him yet, give it a little time.


In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
- *This is her breaking up with him

I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
- *They are having a final talk, and sort out all the faults, just like in a court room. He will take all the blame (he is the one with all the tickets) and he will pay her the fines. It's like he is saying he will try to be better and is repaying her for all his shortcomings. He is really trying to save the relationship.


Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
- *He is really begging to keep the relationship saying there is still hope that can be squeezed out, even if the breasts are small.

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
- *He is not strong enough, his load is full. He is probably depressed, so he is saying she shouldn't rush leaving him.

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
- *Still the same, he wants his lover to wait and save the relationship.


And now all your love is wasted?
And then who the hell was I?
- *She is really breaking up now and all her previous shows of affections will be nothing and now they will go back to being strangers.

And now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
- *He is breaking down and realizes she really doesn't want him anymore (thus he reached the end of her lines)


Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
-* His final statements in his hopeless endeavor to save their love.

I actually got the interpretation just as I was writing. Haaha
